Developing Stage

With all the research that I've been doing for my action shots for my film opening, I realize that before I even start doing them, I should work on my storyline first. I should be clear on the type of shots and scenes that I want for my film opening. I've been trying to work on a storyline for the past few days with the help of my mom and grandmother and until now, we have come up with a story that involves a kid with a terminal disease (protagonist) and all of his friends sneak him out of this hospital to do fun stuffs with him like the shots and scenes I was talking about in my recent blog posts. The friends and sneak the kid out of the hospital so they can have the time of their life's with their best friend before he is gone. In my opinion, I think the story needs a lot of more work and detail but, I think it is a good theme for my video.

Thankfully, my best friend are all in when it comes to help with a project  and especially this one because it involves us to do a lot of cool activities that we have been planning on doing in the past but never had the chance or time. I want to finish my storyline and review with my family and friends by the end of this week that way I can start doing the filming for my film opening by next week. I have been working on some extra work that should really help when it comes to the audio of the film opening that I will mention in my next post.



This Will Take A Lot Of Work

I have been doing a lot of research, mostly in YouTube about asking action shots like the ones I was talking about in my last blog. I realize that if I want to get the best type of shots, and the right angles I will have to do the stunt multiple times or have more than one camera set up in different angles to get the right shot. In my mind, I am really convince in what I want to do for my film openening and I don't thing anything will changr my mind. I really want this project to come out great and you never know what can come out of this project, if I have skydive twice just to get the right shots but hopefully I won't have to, I would. Ina, really committed on making this project one of my best so far.

I have been watching a blogger that has recently had a lot of controversy in the media world, Logan Paul. He is one of the best bloggers in today's society and in most of his videos he is doing stunts and action scenes like skydiving and bridge jumping. Another blogger that does a lot of crazy action stunts is TFLI, they do a lot bungee jumping, zip lining, scuba diving, zip lining. I am trying to learn from this guys on how to get the best shots and angles for my film opening. I am going to start looking for more professional action scenes like the ones on movies but I like looking at bloggers because they normally have the same resources that I have than a set from a movie that is paying a lot for movie for their scenes.

#1 I Don’t Know Where To Start

I haven’t had such a big project assigned since the science fair in the 7th grande and just like back in those days I really don’t know where to start.

I have been doing a lot of thinking and I have decided that I want my project to be a film that inspires people in someway. I want my project to have some interesting mise-en-scene and shots. For example, riding motorcycles with some GoPros attached, snowboarding, and I am actually going skydiving soon and I’ll most likely use some of that footage for my film. I’m also going to a lot of places during spring break and attending a lot of festivals too. I have a lot of ideas and interisting things to do for my project, I just don’t know where to start.

I really don’t want to make this project a last minute thing because I know it will not come out great. I have really good idea because I have been brainstorming a lot and coming up with ideas with my friends and family. I have the support of my friends for the project, that’s the only thing that is calming me down for now because I really didn’t want to work with strange people and with my friends this project might actually be fun to do. I am planning to come out with the most interesting and inspiring shots for this project that I even got myself a drone and driving to interesting places to get cool shots. Im really looking forward for this I just have to manage my time and also know where to start.
